Palace of the People, Muswell Hill
Design for the Palace of the People, Muswell Hill: North front, by architect Owen Jones. This design was never in fact realised. The Great Northern Palace Company eventually named the palace after the new Princess of Wales, Alexandra of Denmark, who had married Prince Edward four months earlier. Alexandra Palace commenced construction in September 1865 to a design by John Johnson and Alfred Meeson rather than the glass structure initially proposed by Owen Jones. The building retained Palace of the People or The People's Palace as an alternative name
